HOME SELLER SERVICES

If you are planning to sell your home, it might be a wise decision to make a small investment in a professional appraisal.  Unless you study real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for you to get a handle on real estate values.  We aren’t talking about how much you have invested in your home, how much you paid for it, or how much you want for it.  We’re talking about the true market value of your home, which could really pay off for you in the long run!

PRE-LISTING APPRAISAL

If you’re working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely  they’ll provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected sales in your area as one of the first steps in determining what to set as the “Listing Price".  This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home’s time on the market.

But even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's probably in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.  We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal.  The appraisal will provide a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar "comparable sales" or as they're commonly called, "Comps" and an explanation of how these sales explain the market value of your home. 

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can: 

• Provides you and potential purchasers with an accurate description of your homes features
• Identify potential problems and eliminate last-minute repair issues
• Be used as a negotiation tool during the sale process
• Provide potential purchaser confidence they are making a reasonable offer

While many people are surprised to find out the market value of their home is more than they thought others have an inflated opinion of their home's value.  An appraisal is helpful in realistically pricing a home to be competitive in the market.  Underpriced homes result in the loss of part of the asset you have built and overpriced home don't attract buyers leaving the home on the market for extended time wasting time, money, and effort.
